not rly but none of us want an expansion bc there is simply no room
they put dozens on the housing waitlist every year bc there is not enough housing for all of us, where are these people going to live

Aren’t they trying to expand the next class by 20%
stiff shadow
ive heard also that according to trump caps, they arent allowed to take as many intl students (its some relative percentage), so theyre increasing the number of people, so the relative percentage still ends up being same amoung of intl kids, but more domestic kids
but maybe this is some bs, and i have bad sources lol
qs: what does columbia want to see with the list a selection of works thing.. applying rd and really dont get what they want?
opaque dawn
With the amount of internationals, how much lower did they say it’d be disregarding the expansion?
stiff shadow
idt we know the exact values, but its def gonna be harder
especially indian/chinese kids, cause theres a 5% cap now on intl kids per country, so obv they cant take more than that.. but the policies might have changed since i last checked
are you applying columbia rd or ed?
opaque dawn
I applied ed
stiff shadow
nice nice
opaque dawn

opaque dawn
yah
stiff shadow
i can send in f1 then ig
ionic remnant
+is housing not guaranteed?
housing is guaranteed but they do not have enough rooms to continue the standard of housing they have rn for 20% more ppl, so if they increase capacity, housing will likely get worse for everyone until they build more housing (which has its own issues tbh)
stiff shadow
housing is guaranteed but they do not have enough rooms to continue the standard...
ay ay ay
ionic remnant
and not just housing and library space, but dining halls are always full and it’s already difficult to get into undergrad classes
opaque dawn
damn
ionic remnant
just my two cents though
stiff shadow
nyc problems
opaque dawn
makes sense but will this only be confirmed/ have affect for rd?
ionic remnant
I do not think it would be good for them to increase capacity without making major changed first
stiff shadow
wait so did the expansion get appoved or is it still discussed
ionic remnant
the article someone sent earlier said that they would make a decision by ed release
^
stiff shadow
That’s what I did
for the thing, when it asks for a reference
do they send a request for a reference later?
opaque dawn
Nope
stiff shadow
so no reference then.. okay
ionic remnant
yes I am a senior
ionic remnant
hows columbia treating you now?
it’s been fine, if I were to do it all over again I would probably choose a different school but I’ve liked living in nyc

how is housing atm?
ionic remnant
ya
glad sentinel
because they said they may just consider capping it to what they enrolled last year in the article
do u think that would be bad?
ionic remnant
well freshman housing is different so we’ll see how it turns out when they get to upper class housing which is a lottery system
fast parcel
Yeah
ionic remnant
bwog posts a lot about how the lottery system goes each year but we won’t rly know until like march
ionic remnant
yeah it’s like 80-90% of ppl who live on campus all four years
they have a stat somewhere idk
glad sentinel
Yea A ton of ppl got off the waitlist last year
columbia was sighting financials so i think they wanted to enroll more + try and regain what they lost in 2023/2024
cus they also were still recovering from the pandemic
glad sentinel
yeah it’s like 80-90% of ppl who live on campus all four years
okok
also question about barnard
opaque dawn
How many more ppl got accepted last year vs previous years?
Also how many ed usually get in Accepted/applied
glad sentinel
Also how many ed usually get in Accepted/applied
i think somewhere online i read about 20% of the class are accepted ed..? idk tho people were talking about it the other day
ionic remnant
How many more ppl got accepted last year vs previous years?
ashen ibex
but i heard they accept 80% of class during rd?
no, 43-47% of the class is filled in ED, the rest RD
untold ore
Aren’t they trying to expand the next class by 20%
they were considering it but i dont think theyve come to a decision yet
glad sentinel
no, 43-47% of the class is filled in ED, the rest RD
columbia accepted 34% of class ed in 2028
granted not everyone rd attends
untold ore
how is housing atm?
i got sentenced to wien
and then i took a gap year
no more wienering
glad sentinel
i got sentenced to wien
considering u said sentenced im guessing wien is bad 😭
untold ore
but yeah p much everyone including people who got off wl got housing its like 4 years guarenteed
untold ore
considering u said sentenced im guessing wien is bad 😭
its not that bad but compared to the other freshman dorms its not as good ykwim
untold ore
yes
glad sentinel
or do they share housing
glad sentinel
a lot of the classes i want to take are at barnard so if i get in i will be well immersed across both campuses
untold ore
considering u said sentenced im guessing wien is bad 😭
one pro about columbia housing is they have a lot of single dorms which is crazy for an nyc school
ashen ibex
columbia accepted 34% of class ed in 2028
i dont see that number anywhere
untold ore
ik a lot of people who wanted singles who got it
glad sentinel
i dont see that number anywhere
its like basic math
its not a published thing
795 accepted ed, they in total accepted 2319
795/2319 means around 34% of acceptances were delivered in ed
ashen ibex
yeah so you claimed that 34% of the class was through ED, which is false!
lmk if u need more help

I’m going home rn so can’t participate but usually people do fun stuff like sled...
how do they sled down low steps
i feel like i would roll off

im so confused 😭
ionic remnant
how do they sled down low steps
idk I’ve never done it
untold ore
housing is guaranteed but they do not have enough rooms to continue the standard...
also wasnt housing weird this year because one of the halls was like under construction or smth
like thats why there were freshmen in wien or smth like that
ionic remnant
a lot of the classes i want to take are at barnard so if i get in i will be well...
yeah probably
glad sentinel
ok ??? 😭
i think what got confusing is im talking about admitted student % not strict class %. their total class acceptance under ed is around 30-34% in 2028 but was lower last year because they accepted more rd and with waitlist. in 2028, 34% of all acceptances for the class came from ed
ionic remnant
hopefully by co30 enrollment that hall will be done
yeah idk how they will get by without it
glad sentinel
columbia historically fills their acceptances with more rd than ed

i am so excited to apply to columbia this is like a dream come true
i always forget ur not ed

i know :((
im lowkey regretting it
i was scared to ed with financials
columbia would cover a lot but i wasnt sure because of my parents finances
our reported forms have a near 50k increase than currently
untold ore
oh what :O
in my experience the finaid office was great so if u do end up worrying about it pls schedule a meeting w them they r super nice
glad sentinel
our reported forms have a near 50k increase than currently
well i think i lied actually
because they take 2023 right
or is it 2024
if its 2024 there is a 50k difference
if its 2023 there is a near 100k difference
from right now
so i was really worried about applying ed because i didnt want to be locked into a financial situation
glad sentinel
ok so thats not as bad but still a lot
so yeah i hope they can help me figure it out because i also have a sibling

i didnt apply barnard but columbia also had a disagreement prompt

and then a short reflection at the end
of waht i learned from this experience
idk how good my advice is so yeah
take it with a grain of salt
void moth
yeah i talked about how i had an opinion different from many people in my comunity, explained the disagreement i had, talked about even though we disagreed, i learned from that discussion that i cant change everyone s minds especially people my age, and instead i would focus on discussions with logic and nonjudgement at columbia and engage in meaningful convo without having to change someone's perspectives

true, ig you have to elaborate more on the particular disagreement

“I disagreed with myself bc I have a strict interpretation of Amsalmatzt’s dietary restrictions, and I don’t think that eating rotten wood is ok even if you can’t see that it’s rotten because it’s been ground up into tiny pieces and you’re blind, because you would be able to taste it, but I can also concede that “ilnaitsatvaysalmt” could have multiple different interpretations.”

Yeah lol
I do it all the time

That’s not the real one I did dw
snow root

what is the specific question tehy ask
this is vague
and its not ur fault its just cause u dont have a specific example
cause columbia asks for '. Please describe a time when you did not agree with someone and discuss how you engaged with them and what you took away from the interaction"
so i take that as like tell sum story ykwim
but idk what barnard question is
drowsy gulch
hello are u ok. 😭
Yeah lol
drowsy gulch
dont wanna like tell my idea to everyone
Fair lol
potent rampart
what is the specific question tehy ask
lemme copy paste it
''Rooted in a history of trailblazing women, Barnard College is a collaborative community of care shaped by bold women with a multitude of perspectives. Choose one woman— historical, fictional, contemporary, or personally significant— whose views differ from your own. Imagine a conversation with her. What would you discuss? How might her perspective challenge or shift your own? Share how this new mindset could influence your approach to learning and engagement both in and beyond the classroom at Barnard. (250 words)''
also i did a bad job at describing what specifically i was going to write about
void moth
so i would mention obviously what is the topic youd discuss, and id probably choose a topic that i know i would disagree with to make the essay more interesting. then i would likely describe how, depending on the evidence, that new informaion or perspective would change my opinion (in the context of what barnard is talking about)
or you could also say i dont think i would agree, but it has to at least do something. wether its changing your beleifs or keeping them strong etc
potent rampart
i was thinking about using mary i (queen of england), she famously burned protestants at the stake. I was going to compare that with how minorities (spec. latino bc i am one) are targeted by certain groups. THEN, i was going to dive in how mary i hated protestants bc of her upbringing and how understanding WHY a person holds the belief they do is key in any productive conversation.
